Children of the nineties will certainly remember Xzibit's incredibly successful show “Pimp My Ride”: Back then, what appeared to be junk carts were turned into blatant sleds with loads of crazy features: a heart-shaped bed, a PlayStation or a whirlpool. Nowadays, instead of the PlayStation, Xzibit would probably install a huge Smart TV, with which online games such as Subway Surfer or online casino could be played. The latter in particular can give users the change they need to be able to afford such a car conversion. But it's not just entertainment systems that turn an average car into a special class. This article gathers the best ideas to pimp your car.
Turning the wheel: the trend from Japan
The Japanese are currently one of the most imaginative nations when it comes to removing cars from their original looks. Many tuners now tilt the tires of their cars slightly inwards. They allegedly master tight corners better - but for laymen it initially looks as if the cart has sustained an accident. Full marks for visual confusion and creativity. Incidentally, the trend also has a special name: The Japanese speak of "Onikyan" here.
Bigger is better: gigantic exhaust pipes
Environmentalists will shake their heads at this. After all, exhaust pipes are kind of the eyesore of gasoline-powered locomotion. In Japan - again - the auto-revampers like to draw attention to it. They turn their inconspicuous exhausts into huge antennas that protrude far beyond the car. So that everyone can see them - including the driver while driving - they are attached to the front end of the car. The whole thing is impractical to the point of no-more, but these are also bodies without a button closure and people still think it's chic. It is questionable whether this trend will also prevail in Europe. In Japan, craziness definitely scores.
Everything in the frame: Tuning in German
The German authorities would probably not like to see local car owners trying out similarly special looks on their cars. The safety regulations in this country ensure that creativity when tuning is limited. The German tuners always come up with something. In 2019, the aerodynamic spoiler in particular will make a comeback. At first glance, this may be reminiscent of the tuning attempts of the early 2000s, but skeptics will soon be won over by the latest designs. The following also applies to spoilers: They are only permitted from approved materials and in approved dimensions.
Inner values: tuning for the interior
Xzibit leads the way: If owners want to take their car to the next level, they don't just focus on the outside. A lot of extras can also be installed inside a car. To follow the example from the introduction: Headrests are ideal places to install screens for the passengers in the back seat. This ensures peace and quiet on family vacations and also entertains adult guests, for example with access to online games. Beyond everything digital, color accents provide that certain something: Racer colors such as yellow and red are still very much in vogue. Some ideas are too special for the German market - but even small steps can really refine a car.
Of course that had not happened yet!
